THE CENTRAL POOL COMPLETED.
The Issues Harmonized by the For
nation of the Georgia Company.

The Issues Harmonized by the For
nation of the Georgia Company.
1t was learned yesterday that the Georgia
Central syndicate had completed its pool by
the organization of the Georgia Company.
This new company is composed of Messrs
John H. Inman, Emanuel Lehman, Alfred
Sully, John C. Calhoun, H. B. Hollins, Au-
gust Belmont, Jr., A. l.. Rice and Klssel &
Co., Of New York; Dennison, of Philadel-
phia; and Patrick Calhoun, c. H. Phinizy,
A. L. Hartridge and Z. z, Alexander, of
Georgia. Even New York seldom sees syn
dicates of such strength and power as this
one, and it is said that all its energies will be
devoted to the improvement of the system.
The Augusta Chronicle says: The syndi-
cate is said TO have paid Sl25 a share
for its stock, and its prospective profit
is said to be $50 per share. The method of
calculation whereby that amount is deter
mined is as follows:
"The Georgia Company issues three shares
OF its stock for every one of Georgia Central
deposited in its treasury by the syndicate,
and also 81 900 900 of its ) per cent trust
bonds, which is the same amount as the
aggregate of the syndicate's Central stock.
These bonds have been sold to syndicate of
foreign capitalists at 95c., and the Georgia
Company's stock, it is said, will well be
worth $50 per share. This calculation
makes every share of the syndicate's Central
yield its owner S1S5, less $40 per share cash
required to be put in the treasury of the
Georgia Company, or $50 per share net
profit 1t is further intimated that pool
is TO be formed embracing some of the
strongest members of the Georgia Company
who will bind themselves not to sell any of
that stock under fifty"
The Georgia Company has elected H. B.
Hollins President. and selected MesSrs.

entire stock of the syndicate at all Central

GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.

The Cincinnati and Birmingham will be
under the supervision of Charles Schiff,
President, and John G. Gault, General Man
ager of the Cincinnati Southern, New Or
leans and Texas Pacific railroad The line
will cost from 100000 to IS, 100000 to
build from Somerset to Birmingham. Ten
nessee and Kentucky are asked to subscribe
100000 A survey of the line from the
Tennessee river directly south of Huntsville,
Ala, to Somerset is nearly completed, and
the company expect to construct chat por-
ton of the road and have it in operation
within two years. They think they will be
ready to let the contract for this part of the
line III October or November next, and that
the work of grading will be begun first at
Huntsville, Fayetteville, or Tullahoma, or
some point between Tullahoma and Belle
buckle. Plans are in preparation for the
work in Alabama, south of the Tennessee
river TO Birmingham, and the Gulf or At
lantic coast.
Thomaston Times: We regard the pros
pect for ThomaStons getting the Birming-
ham and Atlantic Air Line Railroad as
more favorable than ever before. The en-
gineer corps has been temporarily from the
work of locating the route between Macon
and Lagrange, and has gone to work to
complete the location of the portion be-
tween Savannah and Macon. The work on
that part of the road is pressing forward
most vigorously. They are actually build
ing, and are doing it in common sense
way, not in spots, here and there. A
few days ago we received a note
from Mr.. Searcy, which we publish below
"Over 100 hands are now at work between
Savannah and Macon. When we bought
the road fifty seven miles had been graded.
We have graded thirteen miles, making
seventy miles ready for the iron. The en-
ginecr corps between Macon and Thorn
aston, after locating six to ten
miles back, were ordered to help
prepare the line for 1000 hands
who will be ON the road in ten days. This
delays everything on this side few weeks.
The corps will return in about thirty days,
and work will then be resumed between Ma
con and Thomaston. We We're forced to
this apparent delay, but it will hasten the
road to Thomaston rather than retard it.
Let our friends be of good cheer, we are
coming. ] expect to ride into Thomaston
on our train next spring."

1t is Fatiguing.

You can generally size man up by the
fit of his clothes, and if there is anything
that will make one tired, oh! so tired, it is
the sight of a man whose garments hang on
him like "a shirt ona handspike" Nothing
is easier than to get decently fitted-if you
will only go to the right place. We make a
speciality of correct fits; in fact, our reputa-
ton depends on it, and we would rather
lose a sale than send out into the world a
suit that would bring us into ridicule. We
stock, and will positively sacrifice every ar
ticle of summer wear henceforth
The high-class clothing Underwear,
Neckwear, Hosiery and Gents Furnishings
handed by us must go at buyers figures.
We have made up our minds to lose-as we
always do at the end of the season-and will
pocket our losses gracefully.

ARTEsIAN WATER AND GOLD FISH.
Two Deaths Among the Finny Pets
An Analogous Case.

Two gold fish have died recently within
twenty-four hours after they had been put
in artesian water, and this has given rise to
an inquiry as to whether there are any
properties of the water that are deadly TO
these finny beauties. An investigation,
prompted by these two deaths, proved that
there are gold fish living and thriving in ar
tesian water, and that the deaths are due
TO other causes
The cases are to a certain extent similar
to one that occurred in Milwaukee not long
ago A Chicago man visited that city and
by mistake was handed glass of pure
water He drank it and Immediately fell
to the floor unconscious. His friends were
perplexed but one of them happened TO
know that a chemist who lived next door
had procured some Chicago water for
analysis so he ran to the chemist and got
bottle Of it. Returning, he held the bottle
to the nose of the PROSTATE Chicagoan. who
at once began to revive. When he had re-
gained consciousness he inhaled the odor of
the Chicago water, and said with sigh:
"Ah, that smells like hOmei" 1t is sug-
gested that if the fish had been allowed to
smell some of their familiar Savannah river
water they might, like the Chicagoan. have
been saved

B. H. Hayward was rather inclined 10 look
on the worst side OF the matter and said
that he thought the crop was all gone. Not
only that but the extra work and expense in
repairing the banks would be big item for
them too, this year
The more the planters look over their
overlooked fields and reflect on the damages
the greater becomes their despon-
dency. The prospect of another flood
coming down on their already strained
banks is another had item Of news for them
and they feel correspondingly anxious.
oUTsTRTPPING THE RECORD.
The food has reached beyond any pre-
vious record. Not one of the up-river plan
tiers ever saw it 50 high before In June.
1876 and April, 1880 or 1881, there were
heavy floods but nothing so disastrous as
this. The water is now running off
through the swamps on the Carolina
side back of the rice fields.
IL the expected flood comes very soon, it is
thought that the plantations below the city
will be flooded. The public road leading
from Vernexebre creek to Screven's Ferry
is overfowed 70 within mile of the ferry.
and a slight increase of the freshet will
soon submerge the rice fields there The
highest point OF the food has been reached.
Yesterday at noon a fall Of four inches was
noticed ut Mr. J. b. Heywards, on Argyle
Island. The upper portion of Hutchinson's
and all of Penniworth Islands are safe The
planters say that the estimate OF losses
given by the MORNING NEWS Is about cor
rect. 1t certainly could not be much under
the figures given, and may be greater.

At all the plantations above here the water

the water runs out of the fields into the

is 50 great that it rises in the fields above
